Anyone out there like that? I kind of am. :P I like sticking with the news and writing my own demo impressions and stuff. I might play more games if I had more money though, I'm currently saving up for a Xbox 360. :)
Sometimes it gets to the point that I talk more about games then play them. But lately I haven't had good company to get into heated conversations/debates about games, so it's been more actual gaming lately.
I like playing video games so much, that I have to come and talk about them. Yesterday upon getting a nice Resident Evil pack I oculdn't help but talk about it, and can't wait to review it.
Now its some what of an insentive for me to beat games; because when I do, I review them and talk about them.
Ive been playing less games and spending a huge chunk of my free time at these boards lately lol. I think ill always enjoy playing them more than talking about them , but being able to read what all you other gamers talk about is getting funner too.
It depends on the situation. If i don't have a new great game for weeks and i'm with my friends then i enjoy talking about video games more but if i have a new game it's more enjoyable to play the game.
I enjoy playing them more, butI do like talking about them too, like reviews and discussing them. Right now I'm not doing much of either because I'm busy and poor:(
I like both. After I beat a videogame, I bust out MS Word and start writing out my own fan fiction about it. Mainly, I write Grand Theft Auto fan fics. Both playing and writing/talking are enjoyable to me as well.
I enjoy playing the video games, because it inspires me to write stories about the games. And it also leads me to write reviews.
But, before any of that happens, I wait for the game to be released, and sit here and get to discuss it with other gamers that are in the same boat as me. I enjoy all aspects of gaming, whether it's playing them, writing about them or discussing them. I can even enjoy watching a video game be played, if the game is good enough.
I used to enjoy coming to these forums more than I actually gamed, but this might've been because I only had a GCN and not a lot of interest in it specifically.
Lately, I've been playing a lot more than in the past and posting less. Really, while there are occasionally worthwhile discussions here on GGD, the board is far too slow. I used to hang out on System Wars because it was fast moving, but over maybe six months I realized that all the topics recycle and it's just the same **** repeatedly.
I still pop in here when I got a spare 15 minutes (just like now!), but I rarely spend too much time at one time on these boards.
There's nothing to write/talk about if there's no source of inspiration. So since this is a video game forum, I guess games is that source, so that means I enjoy playing games more, which makes me want to talk/write about them. :D
I like to follow the video game industry just as much as I like playing the games. I like the news, the previews, the hype, the critics, the fanboys, the floppage, and the forums. I also like to invest money in the industry. Great companys like Activision and Gamestop are good stock buys.
You know, I never really thought about it before but now that you mention it I think I enjoy talking about games just a tad bit more than I doplaying them. Mainly it's because when I'm playing I'm stuck inside my own head but when I start talking about them I'm able to use my imagination a bit more to express how I feel about playing.
I tooactually like reading/posting about games more than playing them. Playing them seems more like a chore than anything, but thats probably because I'm terrible at them. I just buy it, put it in, look at the graphics and then I'm done ready to play the next game!

LOL, me too. I love hearing if games live up to the hype and pretty much live through the impressions of the community.
